Tethers...return of an idea from last year.
So one of my teamates and i were sitting around discussing how we are going to get our robot from last year so that it would serve a purpose and be competitive in this years game so we can try and enter 2 robots into IRI if that ends up being allowed, and he mentioned leaving the tape measure turret that we had on top on the robot, he was joking, but i thought it was a genius idea.
Think about this. If you had one of the really good KOH robots that can dominate the ramp and keep other people off, having a tether would be great for elimination rounds.
Say you won the first one and your working on DE-scoring the field to keep your oponents score down. Get on the ramp, lock down, and at the end of the match shoot your tether off so that your still fully on the ramp and you dont count.
Of course this would serve no purpose in a best 2 outa 3 type scenerio but in a standard stack attack type game with culumiative(i cant spell) scoring it would be a possible tool for elimination rounds.
Just a interesting idea for strategy that i thought of.
What do you guys think?
